Mike Johnson is the QB coach. He was the WRs coach for the Ravens last year.

Originally posted by Matt Barrows

Johnson, 41, is a former quarterback at Arizona State and Akron who played for the Cardinals for one season (1990) before joining the World League and the CFL. His first NFL coaching job was with the Chargers in 2000. He was the Falcons receivers coach in 2002. He became Atlanta's quarterbacks coach the following season and held that job before joining the Ravens as receivers coach in 2006.

Johnson was released by the Ravens when new coach John Harbaugh was hired last year. Johnson also has reportedly drawn interest from the Jets for their vacant receivers coach position.

Don't like the Raye hiring. I wonder how rusty he will be game planning and calling plays. His last job was in 04-05 with the Raiders but Norv handled a bulk of the playcalling so the last time he was really a full time OC was 2001. That is a huge gap. The positive is he has worked under Turner, Schottenheimer and I hope he incorporates some of their offense sytles into his playbook.

I'm not sure i buy into the 'rust' idea. Only a handful of guys are good enough to be on NFL coaching staffs, and they are there because somewhere along the line they learned the tricks of the trade and have football in their veins. A year out of the league or ten years out of the league, football doesn't really change much. ESPECIALLY if you're on Mike Singletary's staff and you inherit Frank Gore.

The San Francisco 49ers announced today the signing of WR Maurice Price to a future contract. Terms of the contract were not announced by the team.

After suffering a shoulder injury during training camp his rookie season, Price was placed on Injured Reserve (8-27-07) by the Chiefs. He earned a roster spot on the Chiefs’ 53-man roster entering the 2008 season and was inactive in the season-opener at New England (9-7). Price was then released by the Chiefs (9-11) and signed to the team’s practice squad, where he remained for two games before being signed to the active roster of the New England Patriots (9-24).
